A simple question, really.
What’s your favorite candy?
Give me a Peppermint Patty and I’m a happy guy.
Plnnr - who just got back from lunch and ate two Peppermint Patties (the big kind - not the little .15 cent ones) in the elevator between floors 1 and 17.

Back when I could eat candy, I loved Jelly Belly jellybeans.
Watermelon. Juicy pear. Buttered popcorn. Dr. Pepper. And many others. Anything but licorice.
Singly, to savor one taste at a time.
Or in a comba, like they print on the cards (Black Forest Cake - Chocolate plus Cherry = YUM!!
Or a kamikaze: pop in a handfull at once and get an explosive sugary smorgasbord of flavors. Woooo!!
Darn you, **plnnr** for tormenting me with memories!!! Darn darn darn.
(Ever had a _frozen_ Peppermint Patty? Sheer delight, though not as good as Jelly Bellies.)

Almond Joy.
No wait…Cadbury Flake…
No…Dark chocolate with raspberry filling…
Only one to choose? Oh Cruel World!
OK, Almond Joy it is.

Peanut M&M’s, but they aren’t as good as they use to be, the peanuts are too dinky.

Payday. Yum. I like to unwrap it partway, eat all of the peanuts off of the bar unit and then eat the bar part. Unwrap farther and repeat.

Chocolate, fruit, or any combo thereof.
Recently, orange- and pineapple-flavored Kit-Kat bars have been on sale here. Wonderful!

Mmmmm, Zero bars. Mmmmm.
And Zagnuts.
The “Z” candybars.
Damn, they’re good.
But a plain ol’ Snickers is good, too.

I go through phases but most common favorites are
Peanut MM’s
Picnic Bar
Cherry Ripe Bar
Marshmallows - preferably toasted if not in an open fire then with a candle.

I like Nerds by Willy Wonka. It is overkill, but I don’t care. 🙂

Blue raspberry Blow Pops are my favorite, and Snickers candy bars are a very close second.

Candle-roasted marshmallows? What a brilliant idea! (No sarcasm. I want to run out and get a bag of marshmallows right now.) Thanks!
My favorite is Dark Chocolate Milky Way. Frozen, then thawed to just the right temperature. Mmmm.
Also like Junior Mints and Rolos. (Best when smuggled into a movie theater.)

Ferraro Rocher. Mmm. Just got hooked on these. They’re little chocolates with nuts in them and they’re literally like having sex. Literally. Okay not reallky, but they are damned good.
